Wrath of Gods

About This Movie

So, 'Wrath of Gods' is this intriguing documentary that gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the making of 'Beowulf & Grendel.' The whole vibe is really immersive, capturing the raw, unpredictable nature of filmmaking in Iceland. You’ve got this atmospheric tension—like the elements themselves are conspiring against the crew. Sturla Gunnarsson, the director, really delves into the chaos they faced, and it’s fascinating how the film blurs the lines between myth and reality. The practical effects and performances are pretty solid, but what stands out is the pacing; it’s almost like a mythic journey in itself. The film definitely leaves you with this lingering sense of the Norse gods always watching, which is kind of a unique touch. Quite a different angle on the standard making-of docs.
